BBC disability affairs correspondent Peter White talks to disabled people who have bucked the odds and achieved outstanding success in a variety of fields.

He talks to TV director and documentary-maker Emma Bowler about how Kniest Syndrome affected her decision to become a mother. She is 4ft tall and has inflexible joints, and Emma's rare condition was inherited by her first son Archie.

Pregnant again, at her 20-week scan the doctor concluded that everything looked normal. Emma's first thought was how would she cope with a 'normal' baby.
